'True' Video iPod Coming Soon

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the possible-april-fool's-jokes dept.

Moby Cock writes "Think Secret is reporting that the true video iPod is slated for announcement soon. It will have a 3.5 inch display and will eschew the mechanical click wheel in favour of a touch screen version. The 5th generation iPod released prior to the holiday season last year is described as a souped up 4G iPod with video capabilities. This new iPod will be the 'true' video iPod. It looks like there is not going to be wireless support. The article hints that the release date could be April 1 which is the 30th anniversary of Apple."

      I also heard a rumor that it's going to weigh 8 pounds and have a 10 inch screen.

    How about a 15,000 dollar aniversary iPod stereo system complete with B&O speakers, solid gold monster cables and a sticker that says 30th aniversary iPod.

    They will place a sticker on the bottom with an arrow pointing at you saying "Warning: See that shirt you're wearing, use it to wipe me off!"
